county Council Notnin tion Day.
' At the June meeting of the II -iron coun_
ty eouncil a resolution was passe providing
" that the day for the aominatio of reeves,"
depnty reeves and councillore in townships,
shall be held the last Monday but one in
December." That is one week earlier thin'
usual, or two weeks before polling day.
The abject of the council in making the
°halve, we believe, was to avoid havingthe
local municiptil nominations on the . same
day; as that fixed for the nominations to the
cbunty couneii„, under the county. councils
ad.! If this is the ease, the council have,
actually, done the very thing they might
not to have done,' as they have sinipiy
bronght about what they were trying to
avoid, viz. : The holding- of the township
and the county nominations on the same
dai The words of the statute are as fol-
, ,
lows: "Such nomina.tion day shall be that
Monclay in the week which precedes the
wee - before polling day." The " Monday
in t e week which precedes the week before
pol ng day" cannee certainly be any other
tha two weeks before polliag clay. In
othe words, the nomination day for comity
{
cou eillors will this year be Monday, De -
gem er 21st,, two weeks before the first
Man d y in January, vehich is always polling
day. And bat for the resolution or by-law
of t e county council, the township nomina-
. tion would be he'd ,on Monday, December
' 9.9th or one week kter, whereas under the
by -1 w passed by the council they must be,
held Monday, December 21st, the day fixed
by s atute for the eaunty :council nominee
tion r Although the language of the statute
seembd pIain enough, the editor of THE
Ex -Poste -on, in order to be doubly sure he-
fOre directing attention. to the matter,
wrote to the Atterney-Geheral for his opin-
on, and he says the. elause referred to
meana "that the nomination clay is the
Monda.y- two weeks before the polling." The
matter, however,. can very easily be rerae-
, died.: The county council wiil have a De-
cember session. At that_session, they should
rescind the bY-law passed in Jane, and that.
will rhak,e- it an right; as the township nom-
inationS will then be held as formerly, on
the Monday immediately preceding polling
day, while the county conncil nominations
-will be held on the Monday preceAing that,
or two weeks before polling day. That is
what is wanted, and there will be no coa-
flint.
INIMOINIIMMONO•ront
Manitoba Crops and Prospects.
Mo4people in Ontario are either directly
or indirectly interested in Manitoba, and
1
are,,, a nsequently, mare or less concerned
aboat the crops there. The wheat, in most
par6, ii now nearly ready for harvest, arid
the b nders will be pre tty generally at
work ext week, Unless the recent warm
frost, it 'would almost - seem. as if the
le
spell s oald be followed by a cold wave and
much dreaded frost would nob prove injuri-
ouS there this season. Concerning the
_ ,
quality of the crepe, the reports are very
conflictizig. It is there pretty much as it
is here. -Where the tillage has been good,
and such as it shoulchbe, there will be a fair
return to the husbandman for his labor, but
where the tillage has been slip shod and de-
fective 'the result is partial if not entire fail -
I ure. In the geod ol a days in- Manitoba, if '
1 the soil', was tinkled with the harrow', and
I the aeed was thrown into the ground almost
any tinie during the season, there was
almost i a certainty of, a good crop if the
frost did not take it hefore it was ripe. We
heard. recently- of one farmer who boasted
that he had grown six crops in succeseion
off -the same land without ha,ving even
plowed 'it. That sort of farming will not
Ao any longer in Manitoba, any mOre than
it will in Ontario, and thoee who have tried
.it this Year have met the natural renult,
they hake a poor crop. But where the soil
Ims beert properly tilled there is a fair,
althougl not a heavy crop. Nothing like
the larg average of last year will be reached
at any oint, nor under any circuin tames.
In man3 parts a severe hail storm destroyed
everyth'eg before it. This, of cours , could
not hay I been avoided, but the enrage
done in hie way is iihctional and no gen-
erel, ant illtliough heavy indiviClual losses
and muc i. hardship in thia way will be ex-
perience , the general result will not be
serioualy effected from this cause, so far at
any rate The quality of the grain also,will
be defe here this Year- It is ehtimated
that, upon the whole, the crop, if safely
harvested, will give a yi6ld of from one '
quarter -to one half less than last year, tak-
ing the whole grain growing country.
' There are eectione whete the crop is report-
ed almost, equal to last year, but in most
localities it is a long way behind, while in
some localities it is almost an eatire _failure.
The canees far the shortage this year are
nianifold. In the first place the sprin f
very wet, end farmers could not get on their
land in time to have the Peed prgperly SOWIt ;
in the second plase, a blight or ruat which
struck it has deae much damage, and in the
third place the geasOn 'MIS unfavorable for
THE HURON EXP
1 slip shod faaaning, and there seems to hetet,
much ot that sort there still. • With the
low prices and the short cropetherefore; the
prospects of the, Manitoba farmer are not.
Very ,enenuraging this I year, and, although,
owing to the shortage there and. eleewhere,
prices may this year rule somewhat higher
than they did last year, the outlook is not
,,hy any means encouraging., It is said,how-
ever, that the great, majority depend Much
less on the grainnow than they did a few
.years ago, an that with stock raising and
other kinds o mixed farming, a large pro-
,
portion of the best fanners will have a feir-
ly encouragin seasoo notwithstanding 'the
partial failu e in grain and , especially in
wheat. For, although beef and all kinds of
stock are low n price there as elsewhere,yet
Ithe cost of pi- duction is so &nail that even
with the low riees, there is etill a entail
margin left. his is said to be one ' of the.
advantages a Manitoba farmer has over his
Ontario father or brother. It is said the
Menitobil farmer can have a „larger margin
of profit for his beef at three eras a pound
than the ()uteri° farmer woul have et- five
or six cents, and, as it is wit beef, so is it
with many other products. H wever, whet-
. -
evet the attractions ef the we tern prairies
ere; they mus have SOTRO, as few ',who ge
event from fe tile Ontario to • settle there,
care to come ack again after they have
been there a f w years. This is especi Ily
the case wit the younger people, nd
whether the a treetion be in the soil, the.
climate, or th irnmense scope of country
open' before th tre it seems to be a retiog-
nized fact the there. is a real attraction of
some kind whi h pot only keeps them there,
hut which ten s to make them satisfied un-

Mark Taplee is is, certainly,. a goo fea-
1
eure of our 3,4 nitoba friends, especiatly in
at year when the crops are not as od as
ey would like them to be. There i noth-
g like a contented and hopeful disp eition
to enable people to surmount difficulties
nd to bring them comfortably through this

That Terrible Algebra -Da er.
Very grevious complaints have bee made
a out the algebra paper given to candidates
f r.the third form at the recent department-
al examinations. To could er this and other
Matters, a meeting of hig school masters
N as held in Toronto on F clay last. Over
1 0 masters were present,.ft d after a brief
iscussion a committee was appointed to
d aft a ,meinorial, which .wt11. be signed by
asters throughout the Province and pre- -
Rented to the joint board of examipers, re -
1
qnesting that the succeas or failure of anY
cemliclate.at the present examination shall
nee he affected lby the paper referred to.
All the motions in this regard were carried
unanimously. It was intimated that the
jeint beard of examiners had. expressed a
willingness to 'take such action as would -be
most desirablein the -interests of the candi-
d tee. This vtill be good ,fiews for many
candidates a.nd should relieve their minds
from much anxiety. The crank who pre-
pared this algebra paper shou d not be given
an opportunity of preparing other one, as
whatever his scholastie attain ents may be,
he hag proven that he ha very lietle
